A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Laman, City of
LAMAN, CITY OF. One of the iniquitous cities destroyed by the Lord, with fire from heaven, at the time of the mighty convulsions which, on this continent, marked the hour of the Savior's death. From the names of the cities associated with it — Josh, Gad and Kishkumen — we are led to think that it was a city originally built by the Lamanites or Gadianton Robbers. Of its location and history the record is silent, except we are told that its crime- stained people rejected, cast out and slew the prophets and saints of God who were sent among them.
